I have a server running CentOS4 (current) with qmail that's been running
fine for months. This morning the system 'froze', and after a hard reboot I
see this is what happened in the syslog:

... more of the same ...

Apparently ran out of memory? Is there possibly a memory leak somewhere, or
possibly memory going bad?

After rebooting, top shows:
Mem:    158600k total,   143860k used,    14740k free,     3244k buffers
Swap:   327672k total,     4128k used,   323544k free,    29040k cached

TIA for any insights/suggestions.
